Costly discovery

We Learned the Hard Way.

“We bought our first home without checking the permit history. Months later, we discovered the finished basement and rear addition were never permitted. As the new owners, we had to hire an architect, structural engineer, obtain after-the-fact permits, pay double permit fees, and bring everything up to code. What should have been our dream home became a $31,200 headache. We promised ourselves we’d never buy another property without checking the permit history first.”
